HIV and AIDs In Human Society: Biblical Perspective

Abstract

AIDS is a global problem. Therefore, it is not peculiar to any country. At present it has no known cure and is being managed by using some anti retrovirus drugs that can only help to prolong the life of the sufferer. Consequently, people watch their loved ones die gradually before their very eyes and they have no help to offer. This has become a source of great worry to most people including the researcher who feels he has something meaningful to offer to the sufferer hence the emergence of the topic under study. Phenomenological research method developed by Edmond Husserl which sets aside the researcher’s bias and assumptions, and concentrates on the detailed description of conscious experience, was used to examine these concepts. It was discovered that: i)AIDS is a punishment from God and ii) outside the use of anti retrovirus drugs  and fruits, that there is a spiritual cure which only God can offer through prayers.
